Description: This is scarce Japanese early press copy ( released in 1967 ) of their original album, comin' with rare appendices. Disc is rare red wax, issued only for Japanese early press. Gate fold cover is laminated outside, showing inside “Japanese liner notes” & “Photos of members”. Not only inside but also back cover is also different in artwork from UK copy. Pin-up is not originally issued for this edition. Though obi is missing, it’s still hard to find this item with red wax even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.
